Kind of. She said she’d welcome them, but the other comments she made indicated she’s more just pissed off that women’s sports is being used as this thing for people to hate on the Trans community, which I don’t entirely disagree with.

I don’t think Trans people should be able to compete due to the unfair advantages, but I also watch women’s sports and am pretty sure that people don’t transition solely to win women’s sporting events. Seems like the horrific amount of hatred they receive isn’t really worth the trade off.

You are parsing words. I don't see a meaningful difference.

"Hate" is a cop-out for describing the viewpoint of those that are opposed to trans-women in women's sports. It is a lousy deflection so you don't have to actually talk about the glaring truths in the differences between biological males and females, when it comes to sports. It is NOT hateful in any manner to say that biological men should not be competing in women's sports.

Women's sports weren't created solely because women didn't feel comfortable playing with men. They were created to give women a fair opportunity to participate and compete in sports because of obvious advantages that biological males have. Which 100% goes against this push by ignorant (willfully or not) people who think biological males should be allowed to compete in women's sports.

Another deflection - this point is irrelevant. The motive of why a man transitioned to female does not make a difference. The biological advantage exists either way, making it unfair for women.

Some awfully dramatic words you’re using.
